Exoecology for Monster Hunters: a 5e Ecohorror Boss Bestiary

Fulfillment Update: Foundry VTT, Printing Timelines, and a Poll about the Future!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Sep 03, 2026 at 12:54:10 PM

Hi everyone!

I was waiting to check a few more boxes before writing this update, but the time is now! I've approved final proofs and pre-production samples, and I've officially finished making the FoundryVTT and Roll20 VTT module conversions. I thought now would be a good time to fill you all in on the updated fulfillment timelines.

In this update, you'll find subsections for fulfillment for physical goods, Foundry & Roll20 VTT modules, and a poll about future Exoecology expansions.

Fulfillment for Physical Goods

November 15th: Printing and manufacturing is in progress! I've been told the books, cards, and dice will land in warehouses around November 15th. It'll take another few weeks after products arrive for the warehouse to sort, package, and prepare for shipping.

Late November/Early December: Shipping begins! I'll send an update when the shipping date is finalized, and another when the physical products are officially on their way.

Fulfillment for VTT Modules (Foundry & Roll20)

Both module conversions are done! The conversions were a bit more labor intensive than I expected, but I'm excited to share that I've completely finished both of them!

Roll20 VTT: If your pledge included the Roll20 VTT module, you should have already received a link via DriveThruRPG to access your module. If you haven't received a link and you should have or if you ran into any other issues with the Roll20 module, please email me at [email protected] or send me a message through Kickstarter :)

FoundryVTT: You'll be receiving an email shortly from Backerkit with a link to your activation key if your pledge included the Foundry VTT module. If you're not sure how to use the activation key, refer to the Foundry guide here. You'll want to refer to this section on that page:

A Poll about the Future of Exoecology!

Now that the fulfillment stuff is squared away on my end, I have enough mental bandwidth to start thinking about future supplements and/or expansions. If you've poked through the PDF, or if you've used any monsters, subclasses, items, or adventures, I want to hear from you about what you'd like to see more of! There's a poll attached to the end of this update.

Thanks everyone!

p.s. If you have pictures of you using Exoecology at your table, I'd love to see them. I had a backer send me this photo and it made my day:

Fulfillment Update: Book Sample!!!
3 months ago – Thu, Jul 02, 2026 at 02:21:59 PM

Hi everyone!

Two bits of exciting news today! 

First: I finished converting the book into a Roll20 module! After I get approval from Roll20 staff, I can distribute the module to everyone whose pledge included the Roll20 module! The Foundry VTT conversion is next on my list.

Second: I just received my first print sample of the book, and it looks fantastic! There are some small changes I'll need to make before we move forward with the full print run, but we're nearing the very end of this process!!!

If you don't have access to the PDF and you should, please message me either on Kickstarter or through email, and we'll get you sorted out quickly. Thanks everyone!

Here are some sample photos of the book! Note that my picture-taking skills don't do the book justice :) 

Fulfillment Update: New Samples!

Hi everyone!

I just received some new samples, and I wanted to share some photos and provide a brief update on how fulfillment is going so far! Each of the samples highlight some adjustments I'll need to make before the full production begins. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Fulfillment Updates

Roll20 & Foundry VTT Modules

I've officially started converting the book into the VTT modules! I'm starting with Roll20, and I'm about halfway through setting up all of the monsters. There's a lot more in the book than just the monsters, but I'm making good progress. I hope to be done with the Roll20 module in the next few weeks, and then I'll start on the Foundry module immediately after that. Once they're available, any backer whose pledge included the VTT module will receive a link to the module.

Item Card Physical Sample

These are the first samples of the cards, and while they aren't perfect, I'm really happy with how they're turning out! I'll have adjust the background colors on the front of the cards to make the item art pop more, and I am going to redo the layout of the card backs to bump up the font size to make them more legible. Note that some of the blurriness is because of my camera work—it isn't that fuzzy on the cards themselves!.

Book Test Pages

I asked for two test pages from different parts of the book: the Introduction and the last chapter, the Traveler's Guide to Botanical Nightmares (which is unique in that it has particularly large areas with white text on black backgrounds). The test pages look good overall, but I've included some of my own notes in the caption below. The font size is a bit larger than is standard in the industry, but I think this will make it easier to use! Certainly better to have font that's a bit larger rather than have font that's too small :)

Fulfillment Timeline Update
7 months ago – Sat, Feb 28, 2026 at 06:17:44 PM

Hi everyone!
Short update today, just to let you all know that I am still working through the final round of edits on the PDF. I'll be posting an updated v1.1 early access PDF to BackerKit on Monday, and I hope to send the final print proof to the printer by this Friday. If you catch any bugs, please let me know before then :)

Locking Orders & Charging Cards

I'll be locking orders this Friday, March 6th, and I'll charge cards a few days after that! You'll receive email reminders through Backerkit before any of those steps happen. These charges will include shipping, so make sure you have the correct card info in the system.

Thanks! I can't wait for the physical book to be in my (and your) hands.
